Lili Damita - Fourth of 4 postings

Lili retired from the screen after her 1935 marriage. As mentioned in the previous post the marriage with Errol fell apart in 1942, but they did have a son, Sean, to whom Lili was extremely devoted. Sean did some acting, then found his true calling as a photojournalist at the height of the Vietnam war. He disappeared in Cambodia in April 1970 while covering the war for Time and Life magazines. Lili spent tremendous time and money trying to locate him, but to no avail. He was declared legally dead in 1984. Lili died in West Palm Beach, FL in 1994, a few months shy of her 90th birthday. The pictures in this post show her during the happy times.



Lili Damita - What do you think? Allure?

She is smokin' hot in all of the pictures you posted. It is more than prettiness, she has a wickedness about her look, so it isn't surprising Flynn went for her. How very, very sad about her son. I had not read about it.

Yup - she's hot - I have quite a few more of her, but figured these would tell the tale. And from what I have read, she really had talent.
